It's not just that it was a copy, it's that the estate was in talks for an ER reboot, those died, and then The Pitt was announced with one of the principal actors from ER. It really reads like the estate thought it was getting a payday and is pissed it missed the check.

    The Pitt being in real-time really differentiates itself despite the similarities. I think the estate has a an uphill battle to argue
